I'm probably just panicking.... The littlest thing sets me off.
Can you be forced to sell your house if going onto a DMP?

Can you be forced to sell your house if going onto a DMP?
In a word, no, however, if any creditor takes litigation against you, they can apply for a charging order, this means the should you decide to sell your property, the creditor takes 1st cut of any profit, one other point you need to be aware, if a charging order is obtained, the creditor can seek a forced sale, this is highly unlikely, but it's something you need to be aware of.
